The Benefits of Using APIs

Simplicity

API stands for Application Programming Interface and is simply the underlying code structure that lets different applications speak to each other. With such an API your company can leverage powerful state-of the art technologies that can connect disparate systems that are uniquely suited to your company's needs with server-to-server integration.

EmCentrix HRMS is not necessarily a "what you see is what you get" product. It is a highly flexible solution that can be tailored to your needs. Our experienced developers can modify the system in countless ways; we can create new custom functions, reports, screens, exports, and integrations with other industry specific systems, using API. Our goal is to develop your ideas and visions, enhancing and connecting your workflow and business processes and adding strategic features for your organization.

Efficiency

Consuming an API created and hosted by a 3rd party can also substantially reduce the labor requirements for, HR, Payroll, and IT departments. By handling many background tasks and running continuous maintenance, the use of third-party API providers can reduce the number of employees needed to perform web-centric information gathering and computation tasks. Integrating APIs allows a company to outsource parts of the business process for a fraction of the cost of managing and processing data transfer or building the same in-house.

Security

EmCentrix uses OAuth 2.0 which is the industry-standard protocol for authorization. OAuth provides clients a "secure delegated access" to server resources on behalf of another resource owner. It specifies a process for resource owners to authorize third-party access to their server resources without providing credentials, ensuring data is passed from server to server securely.

EmCentrix Restful API

The EmCentrix / MPO API is a RESTful Internet protocol built around making semantically meaningful HTTPS requests to access or modify a resource (usually done by an employee an employer or a manager). The API can be used to manipulate employee data and to generate reports in several formats and is accessible from any web enabled device.
